Graded. Described. Ready to own.

Little glass planets, properly graded.

Just Marbles is a fresh look at an old obsession. Every marble gets scanned, graded and written up before it hits the shop — so you know exactly what you're buying, and what it's actually worth. No hype, no invented prices.

Collectible swirl marble

Four photos in. A full listing out.

The backend engine does the heavy lifting: it scans your photos, grades condition, narrows the maker and era, then writes the copy, title and gallery for a store-ready listing. You stay in control of the yes.

01. Snap four photos

Front, angle, seam or pontil close-up, and a dry shot with a millimetre scale. Phone camera is plenty.

02. The engine scans

Our vision pass reads pattern, construction, glass type and surface condition — then ranks likely makers with confidence levels, not guesses.

03. Grade + real comps

A condition grade, a plain-English description, and pricing pulled from actual sold results. If the comps aren't there, we say so.

04. Listing goes live

Title, copy, gallery and category are generated automatically and pushed straight into the store. You just approve.

Upload your stock

Four photos per marble. Files are named for you.

0/4 photos ready · daylight, white background, no filters
